It is my sad task to announce the death of Erkan, who passed away on Saturday night after a heart attack.
He was a well known, well liked and respected man in the local community, helping where he could and also with his involvement in the Yesil Uzumlu Dernek. He was a popular figure both at the Petrol Ofisi Locanta and at the Camlik, which were two of his watering holes.
His funeral is today, with Ex Pats who knew him meeting in the village square at 12.00 (foreigners are not allowed in the Mosque) followed by his internment at Catalik cemetary.
He will be sadly missed and all our thoughts are with his family today and his mother in particular who will sorely miss him.
